This Lady Is Fierce

Channing family's villa.

Caroline makes a dazzling appearance.

Surrounded by stars.

Under Martin's leadership, wherever they went, they were met with a frenzy of flattery.

If all the praise could be converted into energy, Caroline could probably transform from a princess into a queen in an instant.

"Congratulations, Ms. Channing."

Adam laughed.

Thank you.

Caroline glanced at MAX and smiled demurely, "I like your Lord of the Mysteries. Do I look like Audrey to you?"

"..."

Adam paused, then looked Caroline up and down again, and nodded. "Very similar, you're just missing a Susie."

He said that, but in his heart he was complaining. Why did all the fans he met like to compare themselves to Audrey Hepburn? They were really confident.

However, in comparison, Caroline is blonde, has a pure and sweet appearance, and has a personal trust worth a whopping $800 million, making her a true super-rich woman, and she really does have a bit of Audrey vibe.

"I have Susie's."

Caroline laughed and said, "She's not suited for this kind of occasion; she's being led around by the maid."

"It seems you really like Audrey."

Adam exclaimed.

"Yes, I think I see myself in her."

Caroline smiled mischievously, "Are you sure you didn't write this based on me?"

"Hahaha."

Adam couldn't help but burst into laughter.

No, you're overthinking it.

Who is this?

Caroline then looked at Max, her eyes scrutinizing him.

There was no way around it; she was already tall, and with high heels on, she was looking down at Max from above.

"My name is MAX."

Having been in the underworld for so long, MAX is very sensitive to this kind of look. She immediately retaliated with a proud and upright posture, silently declaring, "I'm super fierce!"

"Adam must be very humorous."

Caroline glanced at Maxam, her mood worsening. She couldn't hold back any longer and said sarcastically, "What did he say that made you so happy? He wasn't talking about me, was he?"

"He really was talking about you."

MAX sensed Caroline's aggression, which ignited her fighting spirit. Her back pain and shortness of breath vanished, and she bluntly replied, "You call yourself a princess, but I'm a princess too. Everyone is a princess. Perhaps we'll even become best friends someday..."

"Hahaha."

Before Max could finish speaking, Caroline burst into laughter. "That's really funny. Adam is a writer, so hilarious. I love that."

MAX's face darkened, and his sarcastic remark immediately came out. "If you like it, that's fine, isn't it funny? I think so too, so I told him, if one day I really become best friends with you, we'll both keep him company, how about it, sis?"

"OK."

Caroline verbally agreed, but her eyes were full of arrogance and disdain, clearly saying: What are you thinking? You think we'll become best friends?

Little did she know that her once prosperous and thriving home would collapse in a few years.

At that time, she will go from being a high-and-mighty heiress to being penniless and helpless.

What's even more terrifying is that because her father swindled money from countless millionaires, causing them to go bankrupt or commit suicide, he not only offended these millionaires but also terrified the millionaires in New York and throughout the United States.

Those wealthy individuals who almost invested money but didn't actually do so were genuinely terrified.

The most tragic thing in the world is to still be alive but have no money.

The wealthier a person is, the less they can withstand the fear of falling from heaven to hell.

Therefore, even though Caroline was a top graduate of Wharton School of Business a few years later, and was very talented herself, and had received her genius father's teachings from childhood, she was still a financial genius.

But nobody wanted to use her.

No one dared to hire her.

The Channing family has become involved with a super swindler, or even the devil Satan.

This is the real reason why Caroline could only work as a waitress.

Given her connections with those victims and the countless people still fearing the consequences, it's highly likely she'll never be able to work in the financial industry again.

Besides this, what else can a billionaire heiress do?

The answer is, it can't do anything.

The hardships of starting a business from scratch while struggling at the bottom were unimaginable to her. Therefore, even though she was positive and hardworking most of the time, she would want to give up from time to time when she encountered a tough problem that she couldn't solve.

If it weren't for good luck and the appearance of MAX, even with her optimistic and positive attitude, she probably would have collapsed long ago.

And what about MAX?

She has endured countless hardships since childhood and is not afraid of tough opponents. Crucially, she also maintains a kind heart, which perfectly compensates for the shortcomings of the fallen billionaire heiress Caroline, who is ambitious but incompetent and unable to endure hardship.

Therefore, the two of them are the best combination, 2 Broke Girls.

However, at this moment, they had no idea that such a day would come.

They were all extremely confident.

Judging from Caroline's attitude, her attention wasn't on the sensational threesome at all, but rather on the news that she and Max would become best friends.

Adam, who was listening nearby, was extremely conflicted and wanted to remind them not to make any promises they made!

But this joke isn't around yet, so Adam can only smile helplessly. Should he follow along, or...?

After Caroline left.

"Bitch!"

MAX muttered under his breath, "These rich girls are all so annoying."

"That's because she had never experienced the harsh realities of society."

Adam laughed and said, "If you go through that, you might actually become good sisters."

"You've really got your eye on it."

MAX glanced at Adam and said, "If you're so capable, go and give her a good beating right now. I don't mind joining in and teaching her a lesson."

"..."

Adam remained silent.

Although he had many ideas, he was still a little embarrassed to respond after MAX spoke so bluntly.

"Sigh, as expected, I'm still too much of a gentleman."

Adam could only sigh in his heart.

If it were Joey, Barney, Howard, Lu Xiaobu, Oleg... they would definitely chime in without hesitation, and their witty remarks would be even more outrageous than the last.

Compared to them, Adam was definitely a virtuous, upright, and true gentleman.

The focus of the subsequent banquet remained on Caroline.

Adam and Max, on the other hand, just ate and drank their fill and watched the whole thing, overhearing a lot of gossip.

Caroline will graduate next year and has already secured a place at the Wharton School of Business of the Pennsylvania. By that calculation, there are still more than four years before the Channing family goes bankrupt.

If Adam hadn't been unfamiliar with short selling and naturally wary, he could have easily targeted Martin Channing and followed suit in shorting stocks.

In finance, you can make money whether the market is rising or falling. That's why there's the classic saying: it doesn't matter if the market is rising or falling, as long as there's volatility.

The greater the volatility, the greater the potential profit.

Given the scale of Martin Channing's scams, if you accurately predicted when he would collapse and shorted the stock in advance, you could make a fortune.

However, Adam wouldn't take such a risk.

Even if you know this, you can't pinpoint the exact timing. Any fluctuation could wipe you out of the market before you can make a fortune.

The brutal and ruthless nature of finance is evident.

Those time-traveling predecessors who made a fortune based on only vague memories are definitely cheating.
